Issue 308 - 25 Sep 2015 | 1 minute read

ExxonMobil has announced the start of oil production from the deep-water Erha North Phase 2 project. Erha North Phase 2 lies 60 miles offshore in 1,000 metres of water, four miles north of the Erha field, which has been producing since 2006. The project includes seven wells from three drill centres tied back to the existing Erha North floating production, storage and offloading vessel. The project is expected to develop an additional 165m barrels from the Erha North field. Peak production from the expansion is estimated at 65,000 b/d and will increase total Erha North field production to approximately 90,000 b/d.
